The type collection of the families Archeocrypticidae, Pythidae and Tenebrionidae III (Coleoptera) deposited in the Natural Sciences Museum of Barcelona, Spain, was organised, revised and documented. The collection contains 1,216 type specimens representing 238 different taxa. Of note, is a considerable number of species belonging to families described by Francesc Español, Maurice Antoine, Pierre Ardoin, Carlo Koch and Zoltán Kaszab. In this paper we provide all the available information relating to these type specimens. For all taxa (species or subspecies) we give the following information: original and current taxonomic status, original citation of type material, the exact transcription of the original label, and the preservation condition of the specimen. We also discuss the differences between the original descriptions and labels. If a taxonomic change has occurred, the references describing those changes are included at the end of the description.
